Monotype Prints by Jane Gregorious
Aptos Branch Library, January 3- March 29, 2025
Those new to the Trace Monotype technique might remember carbon paper tracings and will see that instead of carbon paper, tracings will be done on slabs of brightly colored inks with a number of tools; from sophisticated combs and metal pieces down to fingers, pencils and ball
point pens. Finished artworks may be very abstract or carefully traced reality in nature and there will be examples of past successful prints. Jane Gregorius retired from the Cabrillo College art department after 25 years and has been making prints for 50 years. She is a founding
member of the printmaking co-op, PATT Printmaker’s at the Tannery. Jane is showing several trace monotypes in this show. For more information visit: https://janegregoriusartist.com/
